No Vacation/Personal/Sick days approved on Jan. 2nd

[GameCockFan]

According to an email sent out by UPS today no personal/vacation days are to be approved for
Friday, Jan 2nd. According to the email, you have to work a day in 2015 in order to take a personal/vacation day. If you take a sick day you will lose your holiday pay.

However, people were allowed to take this week as a scheduled vacation. Never heard this bull before. Of course I put in for my optional day today, eight days in advance. I'm going to file if I don't get the day off with pay and if forced to work I'm requesting time and a half for all hours worked.

Maybe that is just for your center. For mine the 2 optional days ran from May 1 to May 1 and vacations were from Jan 1, so if you still had an option day left UPS couldn't use that excuse.

I will take a lay off day

I'm thinking about taking an option day. Ours go seniority date to seniority date. I have one and it's a week of vacation so I should be able to take one.

If the hours are on your paystub...you can use them whenever you want. They're just worried about staffing on the 2nd....so they make up a "rule". That doesn't mean it'll fly.

i know a few guys that already have it off. they did schedule months in advance though.

We have 5 optional days, 5 sick days, and I have one week of vacation days that can be taken in 1 day increments (Atlantic Area). Our vac/personal/sick days run from Jan 1st- Jan 1st. It's not a staffing issue.
